Intrepid Employees get a VIP Send-Off
In addition to their VIP caravan range, Hull based Coachman Caravan Company Limited had a VIP visitor of their own this week, when the Lord Mayor of Hull, Councillor Brenda Petch paid the Amsterdam Road factory a visit. The recently installed Lady Lord Mayor was given a guided tour of the premises and was also present to provide her personal support to a group of five intrepid employees embarking upon a charity cycle ride from Liverpool to Hull. The 183 mile journey over the Trans Pennine Trail is to be completed in just 24 hours, with all proceeds going to the Dove House Hospice.
